"Preston was very professional and timely and what’s even better is he came out to Lincoln (where I reside) and built my Shed on the 4th of July and he did not charge me extra for working on a Holiday. I truly appreciate his services and my shed has made it through all of the seasons and is still standing wonderfully! I highly recommend him!"

Hi, I’m a motivated and dependable handyman focused on quality workmanship and clear communication. I take on small remodels, repairs, and home improvement projects, and I treat every job with the same care and attention to detail. I’m actively building my skills and experience with the goal of becoming a licensed general contractor, and I pride myself on showing up on time, working efficiently, and leaving every space clean. If you’re looking for someone hardworking and honest who takes your project seriously, I’d be happy to help.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
